Requesting a Leave Balance Adjustment

   Overview   

OneUSG Connect allows you to submit a request to adjust an employee's leave balances. The transaction will be routed through the OneUSG Connect workflow process for the appropriate approval. Balance adjustment requests should be minimal. If updates are needed to leave taken or leave earned, the absence request or time worked within OneUSG Connect should be modified accordingly, which will update the leave balance.

Additional Information:

Leave balances are updated and available the first of the month for monthly employees. For bi-weekly paid staff they will be available in the pay period that contains the 1st of the month.

The calculations for an employee's leave balances are based on a set of cascading rules. These rules set up the order in which types of leave balances will be deducted when a leave is recorded. For more information on these rules, see the Cascading Rules for Leave Quick Reference.

Employees are not allowed to have negative leave balances, per USG policy.

This process is used primarily to adjust conversion errors.
